Step 2 - Grab hydra CLI tools

With access to Redis you should now install the hydra tools:

Make sure you're using NodeJS 6.2.1 or greater - Hydra is built using ES6!

$ sudo npm install -g yo generator-fwsp-hydra hydra-cli

That installs the handy Yeoman and hydra generator and command line client.

Let's configure the Hydra command line client.

$ hydra-cli config
redisUrl: 127.0.0.1
redisPort: 6379
redisDb: 15

The above example assumes you have redis installed locally. If not, simply provide theredisUrlandredisDbthat your cloud service provided.

Now we're all set. Let's build a microservice!
